I honestly think it's one of Prince's most emotional recordings. I know it's just a jam or rehearsal or whatever, and the lyrics are about sunglasses of all things, but it's really beautiful. I hope there's a definitive song version of it in the vault. I found a 7:10 minute cut online which is about the right length and portion of the song. If Prince had released it himself, it would probably be one of my favourite songs.

What do people think of this track? And I wonder if Prince ever did find out where Billy got those sun glasses from

I have a 40min version of Billy in the iVault. It's one of my favorites, too. Some of the sickest guitar I've heard and if it was all impromptu that makes it even more impressive!

I have it on one of the Purple Rush volumes. Is that the best version?

Maybe. I have no idea

This was on the first boot i ever bought (Dirty Mind) - I was blown away. Still put it on during the morning commute now and then. Would LOVE to see video of this.
